New Art Gallery opens up in Riviera Maya CAMINARTE


Art lovers now have one more reason to enjoy the many attractions found in the Mayan Riviera.  Every Thursday evening, 5th Ave transforms into a eclectic art gallery showcasing a diverse mix of painters, photographers, sculptors, artesans, and performance artists from all over the world.  Proving that Playa del Carmen is not just beaches and sunshine, the Caminarte (Artwalk) exhibit allows visitors to view and appreciate the vibrant art culture to be found in the Mayan Riviera.  Wether it’s original oil paintings, indigenous mask, or landscape photography there is something to be found among the dozens of artist’s work that will interest the art lover in you.  Originally limited to a few street blocks, it has been expanded to 12st & 5th on Tuesday evenings due to the great public acceptance of this art forum.
